Do you move the position of your chips on a craps table if the shooter asks you? Some shooters dont want to hit players chips when they throw and they prefer a clear landing zone. Do you help or do you refuse?

I’ve probably played Craps on fewer than fifty occasions, but I’ve never been asked to move my chips.

I've never been asked but I certainly would move chips unless the shooter was being a jerk.

I've never been asked but I always do. It probably makes no difference but I think it's just common courtesy. What we need a little more of on the crab's table.

I also don't:

Buy in during a point
Say "Seven "
Reach in when shooter is ready to release dice

And (Things that don't change win/loss over time)
Don't turn on or off bets or take down bets
Get in or out cause I think it's a hot or cold table.
Think pass or don't pass betting is better

I deviated from the question but hope you don't mind. Good luck and please leave your dealers a tip.

I like your post.

I wish I called off my bets more often.

Don't bettors wouldn't dare try to go behind the line.

I've been at tables where DON'T players created what I call "A Great Wall of China" and I told the boxman not to expect my dice to hit the back wall.

If there isnt a clear path to the back wall my rolls will be short.

Like others, I’ve never been asked to moved my chips. I will say that when the dice are coming to my end of the table, I’ll use the largest denom chips for odds. By that I mean: Fairly often I’m taking $50 in odds assuming rules/bankroll. I also like the very end of the table. There are times when I have a ton of red chips. If dice are coming my way, I’ll use two green. If they’re going the other way and I have a ton of red, I might use 5 or 10 red to replace some green.
If anyone gives you 10,000 to 1 on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a very rich dude.

I think the PM spam is bringing back some folk. Silver lining spam!

That's the right thing to do.
